The GOP leadership of the House shut off the cameras and House Speaker Paul Ryan just now tried to call the members to order but that didn’t stop today’s historic sit-in by Democratic congressmen. The protesting congressmen, led by civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis, are demanding an up-down vote on a bill to prevent people on the no-fly terrorism list from purchasing guns.

When Ryan showed up late tonight to call a vote on an unrelated bill, he was shouted down by the protesting Democrats.
